Experienced an extreme loss of control due to a wobble/vibration that would only stop when you slowed to a speed under 25 MPH. The death wobble would go away but a slight vibration associated with a loose feeling in the steering is now constant. #94v202000, 94v097000, 93v173000, and 01v037000 all need replacing. The last recall mentioned here is the speed control throttle cable, and so far it has not been a problem. The possible effects due to its failure urges me to replace this part.

The front left tire came into contact with a small bump while slightly turning left. It violently started wobbling making it nearly impossible to maintain control, and will only stop when your speed reaches under 25 MPH. The death wobble was very unpredictable when it first started happening, but now it is constantly threatening. I took the truck to auto nation dodge ram on arapahoe rd in colorado back in may of 2014. I asked them to fix all recalls, and described to them what was happening. The invoice I received claimed to have fixed just a few recalls that did not fix the main problem. While I was driving home from the dealership the death wobble happened once again, and the parts that were claimed to be fixed clearly was incorrect.

Dt: the vehicle shimmies severely and when the consumer hit a pothole the vehicle went out of control and he had to stop to get control again. This happened without warning. The consumer stated this has happened one other time about a year ago, and it happened two times this past weekend. Dealer said they could not duplicate the problem the first time and could not find what was wrong. The second time consumer took a tsb#190596 and the dealer said it did not apply to consumer vehicle.

Pe 00 048/loss of throttle control: throttle stuck open while cruise control was engaged. Dealer was notified, and made repairs. *ak the consumer had replaced the throttle cable prior to recall and the manufacturer reimbursed him only for the part and not for labor.

Front end of vehicle had to be rebuilt four times, replacing various components including tie rods/ stabalizer bars, etc. Suspension problems lead to poor handling control,and is unsafe for operation on the road. Also, in may of 2001 after starting engine, ignition would not stop turning which caused smoke to come from the engine compartment. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
